s the world ignores the
Arab revolt in Syria, and Oil Exporters are
uniformly calling on Qadaffi of Libya to step down,
Syrian dictator Bashir Assad continues to
militarily butcher his civilian opposition.

In the latest
development, tribesmen from Assad's own ethnic
group, the Alawite tribe, has now demanded his
resignation. Another ethnic group, a mountain based
people known as the Druze, have also joined in the
political upheaval. The Kurds, the contemporary
descendants of the ancient Medes, who inhabit
portions of Iran, Turkey, and Iraq, are also active
in the revolt.

In Aleppo, a larger
city in the ancient nation, an estimated 10,000
protesters have taken to the streets. Meanwhile,
Damascus University has seen violent conflict all
this week.

Assad's response has
been brutal at every opportunity, deploying tanks,
military, and private paramilitary units to crush
the revolt. Detailed current news is very difficult
to obtain due to the isolated nature of the
country's political power structure, but it is
apparent Syria is in chaos.

The status of the
secretive nuclear weapons program,
which was traced to a hidden locale within the city
of Damascus where radiation was detected last year,
is unknown. It is known that Iranian intelligence is
active in Syrian domestic policies.

Editor's Note:
The almost complete lack of interest in the military
onslaught against civilians is understandable only
in the light of Bible prophecy. As the Northern
Command of NATO and the USA (the King of the North
in Daniel 11) has already decided that Damascus will
be leveled in a forthcoming conflict, no effort is
going to be expended to support freedom in the
tyrannical state.

Syria is working
in close lockstep with Iran, who is also a
key component to a master plan in the Middle East.
The third power of Hezbollah controlled Lebanon
completes the triad of nations which will be
"uprooted" by the "Little Horn" power seen in
Scripture (Daniel 7:8). That nation is clearly the
tiny state of Israel, and the cataclysm is
just around the corner.

The truth of the Little
Horn prophecy, and the fact that Christian prophecy
teachers around the world routinely deny this
identification, is a powerful indicator that
virtually every church in the world is already
inhabited by the Spirit of Antichrist. For
